Assembly in Progress: Horizontal Heat Exchangers for Corrosive and High-Temperature Environments

At Wuxi Repicea, our production lines are operating at full speed to meet tight deadlines for a new batch of horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchangers. These units, which include both silicon carbide and glass-lined designs, are being assembled and polished in preparation for final coating and testing.

This batch features a combination of two advanced sealing technologies, tailored for different chemical and thermal performance needs.

1. Steel-Reinforced, Molded PFA End Caps

Material: One-piece molded with steel backing

Purpose: Designed for aggressive, high-temperature chemical environments

Benefits: Non-stick, chemically inert, and pressure-resistant

2. Glass-Lined (Enamel) End Caps

Material: High-quality enamel fired on metal

Purpose: Suited for pure media and chemically sensitive applications

Benefits: Acid-resistant, smooth surface, excellent durability

Customized to Meet Complex Requirements
